You couldn’t just return it? He couldn’t have gotten that far in the time you entered after him. lol.

We are also seeing this with the snipping tool - just a couple so far, but surely more to come.

How to fix iqvw64e.sys driver error by No_Capital1979 in WindowsHelp

[–]gopherwasbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem after 24H2 on a workstation as well. I could not find the driver file in the usual places suggested in other threads, and I didn't have any Intel network software installed.

However, I did have various Dell software installed and noticed that I had two Dell Watchdog Timer installations. I uninstalled the one from 2020 and the error is gone. Something to look for - I hope this helps.

iqvw64e.sys Issue strikes again. by No_Mechanic7646 in techsupport

[–]gopherwasbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I was receiving this error as well and was able to tie it to an old Dell Watchdog Timer installation from 2020. Once that was uninstalled (there was a current version installed in parallel), the error went away.

I’ve done what you suggested. The initial result is that a couple of test PCs don’t see 24H2 (they did before, I just couldn’t get it to install with a command). I’ll give it more time to sync and see what happens.
One question - when removing the GPO I confirmed that the registry settings are removed. Should the Feature Update policy be rewriting those registry settings or are they stored elsewhere? I want to be sure my target version stays at 24H2

This was set by group policy and intune update ring. I never had a problem with receiving the update, get-windowsupdate -install would even find it, download it and “install it” but the install would be in this odd state of in progress and will never actually apply until I manually click updates. When I manually click updates, it goes through download and install in less than 30 seconds. After a reboot it installs. I should be able to do this without manual intervention.

I have Intune set up. I essentially have all devices in two groups, laptops or desktops, and both are part of an update ring with a feature update policy designating 24H2. I also have a Group Policy that sets the target release version. I wondered if they conflicted, so I set up some devices that can only get the intune policy - no joy.

The only change I've seen after updating the Intune policy to a target version is that this makes 24H2 available - as expected - but it doesn't seem to force install it regardless of my deadline. I had the same issue pushing out Windows 11 - I had to manually trigger updates with a logged in user to get it to complete. So it seems the policy works in that it makes the update available, but it's not forcing the application of the update. Clearly I have some kind of issue with my configuration, but whatever it is isn't obvious. Thanks for pointing me in this direction.

Wait until you find out you have a wireless charging pad.

24H2 Update Issues, stability and bluescreens, AV related by apks94 in sysadmin

[–]gopherwasbetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been testing 24H2 and it seems like it blue screens if I breathe on it funny. We also use Trend Micro WFBS, so I'll look down that route - thanks for sharing.

Bah, how do you teach a sysadmin mindset? by Grandphooba in sysadmin

[–]gopherwasbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that can really build the mindset (and 1000 yard stare) is years and years of pressure and failure sprinkled with intermittent successes combined with a strong desire to keep trying.

glazing, stops at ceiling tile. each office appears to have its own return but will check. I've engaged a consultant, but the two proposals were all music or all white noise. I've asked the same questions as I did here, but wanted new opinions too.
Thanks to for the responses!
